The Girl from the Well

Rin Chupeco

Chupeco’s powerful debut is a ghost story based on an old Japanese folk tale about a vengeful spirit named Okiku. Murdered 300 years ago at age 16, she has roamed the world ever since, freeing the souls of murdered children and taking the lives of their killers. When Okiku encounters 15-year-old Tark Halloway, she discovers that he's haunted by a terrifying spirit who’s capable of great violence. She knows that he is not a monster and the two soon become friends as they travel to Japan to figure out Tark’s story. Okiku is determined to remove the malevolent spirit but there's just one problem: if the demon dies, so does Tark!
